Bingo. Ideally, this would kill 2 birds with one stone if they could find a corner masher to hit #3 next year instead of Lee with Derrek batting #2 or #5 instead. Despite his batting woes, Kosuke is dynamite defenisvely and should be able to handle CF in a platoon with Johnson. Yeah, that's an expensive platoon, but you can't just leave him out there fulltime in a primo offensive slot if he doesn't drastically improve. Was Tex a bad RF or is he going to stay at 1st from here on? He has played 18 games there, 32 total in the outfield, and hasn't played anywhere but 1B since the 7 games he played in RF in 2004.
